Entrepreneur Leadership Series - Maharba Zapata
Maharba Zapata, Founder and Owner of The Salsa Queen
Maharba immigrated to the US with her family when she was still a teenager and spoke no English. When her first child was born, she spent 11 months practically living at the Children’s Hospital after he was diagnosed with leukemia and unfortunately, he passed away. Following a divorce, she found herself needing to provide for her seven children without any work experience or even a high school degree. It was important that her new business reflect her love of cooking and cultural background, which is how Salsa Queen was born.
